Seems to be my fault. It must have missed a fix of your updated script.

I already prepared ebuilds for rinse and the xen-tools. Unfortunately
the upstream Xen package is already called 'xen-tools' in Gentoo. So I
called your xen-tools 'debian-xen-tools'. Maybe there is a better name?
I need to have a look at the ebuilds again (there are still some nasty
hacks) and will try to submit them to the sunrise overlay to make them
available for public. 

Kind regards,
